Javi Redondo - 'Insight'

03 Spirit Catcher - Voodoo Knight (Catz 'n Dogz Dub Mix)

Correspondant present the vinyl sampler for their 3rd label compilation. Following in the success of the previous two entries in the series, this latest edition provides a perfect snapshot of how the relatively young label has matured over three years, with contributions from a range of artists including big names (such as Roman Flügel and Chloe), close Correspondant family (like Man Power and Red Axes), and exciting new rising talent (including Bird of Paradise and Sigward).

With eight tracks, split over two records, Compilation 03 sees curator and label owner, Jennifer Cardini, displaying an even wider musical breadth than the previous two compilation incarnations, but still represents the undefinable yet unmistakable sound which truly marks out Correspondant as unique.

Correspondant Compilation 03 is due out via Correspondant on June 15. 


Javi Redondo - Somewhere

The Full Body Workout series has always been a favorite of fans and artists alike due to the selection of exclusive music that is not only perfect for listening, but also for the dancefloor. The series has always strived to shine a light on the scene as we see it. After 16 volumes already, the 17th is no exception and better than ever. Thomas Gandey, Betoko and John Monkman are just a few names you’ll find here. Nestled next to the known-artists are relative newcomers like Doomwork, Definition, Moonwalk, ME & her and more. The entire compilation has been brilliantly mixed by Zoo Brazil; who’s track ‘Back To You’ is also featured on the compilation. So let’s celebrate the 17th volume, and look forward to the next!

Betoko & John Monkman - Booyah [Get Physical] (Out December 4th)

A real youngster with high quality production skills and a unique soul in his music. We say welcome to Tom Zeta with “Sapphire“ - a mixture between deep and melodic sounds and techy vibes. The tight clap and the talking keys making this one really special. “Sugo“ is more dreamy and relaxed, a summer anthem with it’s housy vibe and the straight and classy open soundscapes. Finally „Towers“ comes dark and mystic in the beginning. That one fits in the club and for the late hours of a beach event and it brings you really far away with it’s hypnotic vibe. Enjoy the mixture, out on Einmusika soon.

PREMIERE: Kalipo & Local Suicide - Dominator [Hold Your Ground]

Artists: Kalipo (@kalipo-1) & Local Suicide (@localsuicide)
Track Title: Dominator
Release Title: Dominator / Crocodile
Label: Hold Your Ground (@hldyrgrnd)
Catalogue No.: HYG0014
Release-Date: 05.02.2020

You run, your heart beats fast. You are breathing heavy, but steady. The surge of adrenaline makes you feel like you could do this forever. Awake, alert, excited or maybe a little scared of what’s going to happen. You can feel the sweat on your back and goosebumps on your forearms. It’s finally happening and it’s happening under your terms. You got it. “Dominator” by Kalipo & Local Suicide is an electro anthem full of physicality and furor, of determinedness and power. Vamparela’s vocals are like the voice inside your gut that you should listen to a little more often, while the driven bassline and 80s inspired analog synths will occupy your mind and focus your thoughts. “Crocodile”, the second track of the release, is the other side of the coin – not any less definite, however more haunted and introspected in contrast. It isn’t always easy, but let’s take control and dance it out before life eats us up!

The EP “Dominator / Crocodile” will be released on 5th February via Hold Your Ground, incl. remixes by Theus Mago a.k.a. Bufi from Mexico City and Radial Gaze from Saint Petersburg. In Berlin, sooner or later everyone meets. Let’s find out what more there is to be expected from this producer trio!

Catz 'n Dogz & Bawrut & Alvaro Cabana - No  Me Gusta (Javi Redondo Remix)

Release Title: Brepps EP
Artist: Casimir von Oettingen (@casimirvonoettingen)
Label: as usual.music (@as-usual-music)
Catalogue No.: AUM028
Release-Date: 24.04.2020

While it’s quiet in the streets, it’s loud all over in the studios - one thing that no one can stop! For the 28th edition of ‚as usual.’ releases, we are onboarding three new faces with a distinctive sense for brisk underground music. On the main part, there’s one of Berlin’s highly demanded artists in these days - charming CASIMIR VON OETTINGEN, who brings tons of freshness with two originals of catchy minimal music. The remixers are YULIA NIKO, who had an enormous output in the recent times on labels like Deeperfect, Hottrax, Crosstown Rebels or Get Physical. And then there’s Zürich-based NADER who is a protagonist in the scene since the early 90’s and well-known in the city and above for his unique style. Welcome everybody for the ‚Brepps EP’. 

Casimir’s original of the title track feels like a cool shower on sweaty days and has everything that a non-categorizable minimal tune needs at these days. ‚Brepps’ stands out by finding the perfect alance between stripped-down rhythmics, low-boosting curves plus a sincere sweetness and humour.

Last but not least, we get lost once again with „Endlos“ resident Casimir’s ‚Dollop’ and we don’t want to find the exit. Light-footedly he seduces us into his world of profound sequences on shaking minimalistic rhythms - effective as hell. Timeless stuff that spends full satisfaction and catches us by the eternal passion for loops.

The Swiss-born buraq is a DJ, music com- poser and producer based in Zurich, here making his 2nd outing on Steve Bug's Sub- lease Music.
The Untold EP dives straight into the good stuff - the title track is a juicy tech house rol- ler infused with years of experience of the dancefloor. buraq weaves together thick kicks, snappy percussion, deep chords and a sick bassline to create a fully essential tune.

'Unsaid' picks up the baton and runs with it - a taut groove ramps up the tension before melodic loops and a restless synth bring the track to full fruition.

'Unspoken' completes the triptych - another fully primed burner for the late night sessi- ons that balances a powerful groove with light touches.

Forever pushing musical boundaries whilst producing a distinctive and evolving sound, SHADED brings his Southern California roots to Hot Creations this May with Mad Stacks. No stranger to the label following his High. Alive. And Dirty. EP, Demuir is onboard to deliver a solid remix.

Mentored and inspired by Ali ‘Dubfire’ Shirazinia, SHADED first appeared as part of the duo SHDWPLAY, who released a string of successful releases on SCI+TEC. He ventured down the solo path with releases on Tiga’s Turbo imprint, including the label’s best-selling release and Mixmag’s ‘Tune of the Month’. He’s also a key associate with Oliver Huntemann’s Senso: appearing on the 5th birthday release. SHADED is now working to finalise a new two-hour live Audio Visual show tailored to his style and vision.

Canadian native Demuir adds another dimension to the original, adding a synth loop to create a funky, new melody. With releases already on labels like I'm A House Gangster and MadTech, Demuir’s incredible career ascent shows no signs of slowing down for 2020 and beyond, with releases and remixes on Pets, Sola, Circus, Do Not Sleep and Hot Creations.

Exclusive: Javi Redondo - Rhythmo

It's a rhythmical explosion that Javi Redondo created with his almost eponymous track Rythmo, which is the latest stroke of genius from and on Jennifer Cardini's Dischi Autunno label. As part of the five tracker A Black 5th, Rythmo definitely represents Javi Redondo's more organic and percussive site and captures as well as portrays a picture of a tropical affair in the depth of the Latin jungle. Coming in with an accurate bass line, that's as sharp as a machete cutting its way through lianes, it's that almost Krautrock-ish note, which clears the way into rhythmical satisfaction, evoked by percussive fireworks as the artists knows how start and end this tropes excursion just right.

Javi Redondo's EP A Black 5th will be released on Dischi Autunno on May 29th, 2020.
